Abstract

Hydrogen storage stands as a pivotal technological cornerstone in the transition toward a sustainable energy economy, effectively addressing the inherent mismatch between the continuous energy demands of end-users and the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources. This work provides a comprehensive overview of physical hydrogen storage solutions, encompassing both physical storage methods and physical adsorption-based approaches. Detailed summaries are presented for physical storage techniques, including compressed hydrogen storage (CGH2), liquid hydrogen storage (LH2), and cryo-compressed hydrogen storage (CCH2). Furthermore, the review discusses various materials employed in physical adsorption hydrogen storage, such as carbon-based porous materials (CPMs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), zeolites, and other related materials. Finally, current challenges and limitations associated with physical hydrogen storage solutions are examined, and prospective research trajectories for future investigations are outlined.
